I have been stuck on a puzzle hunt for well over a month. Another team has already solved the puzzle, but there’s some sort of prize (and fame, and bragging rights) for second place. I’ve set up a wiki for collaboration if you would like to help. I’ve got the solution to the first two puzzles posted there already, and my (so far fruitless) thoughts on how to get to the third.

The puzzle was created as part of a promotion for the book Bad Monkeys, by Matt Ruff. I’ve been meaning to mention it before, and I still want to give it a proper review, but for now suffice it to say that if you haven’t read it, you should. Now. Also, Set This House in Order, which I just read a few days ago. Both of which Cam found first, so many thanks to her for that.
